Dodo, geb. Dörte Clara Wolff (1907-1998), war erfolgreiche Illustratorin im Berlin der 1930er Jahre. Wegen ihrer jüdischen Abstimmung wurde sie aus dem Berufsleben gedrängt und emigrierte 1936 mit ihren Kindern nach London, wo sie Kinderbücher und Grußkarten illustrierte. Hier „Der Windhund“, 1929.

Illustration: Eine elegant gekleidete Frau führt vor stilisierter Stadtkulisse einen Windhund spazieren. Sie wird beobachtet von einem Mann im Anzug mit Hut.
